First, I apologize for the click-baity title I’m not really that opinionated about 40% keyboards.
I wanted to open up a discussion about why people use 40% layouts as daily drivers. I haven’t had the opportunity to try such a layout yet, but I am not yet convinced it could work for me personally. I am wondering how people use these for their daily typing and work, as I am genuinely interested in hearing people’s experiences with these rather esoteric keyboards.
I started in this hobby…

We try to avoid any conflict of interest in scenarios like that but it is still up to the OP to try and keep the conversation on topic before a moderator has to step in. @Zambumon is the OP on this thread and he is simply keeping the thread on topic by pointing people in the right direction for conversation around 40% keyboards.

I am responsible for moderating this thread. I hope that answers your concerns?

The comment was specific to this set in regards to leaving out key compatibility for a certain 40% keyboard. It wasn’t to show lack of support for @Zambumon, but rather disappointment in this decision echoed by other high profile keyset designers.

I understand. I’ve seen the conversations happening on GH on the Carbon set too. Regarding their decision to not have keys for certain boards the designers have decided not to support certain boards (in this case the minivan) and of course if you have one it only makes sense to voice your concern about the lack of compatibility.

At this point it seems that they have answered your concerns and have decided not to modify their Keysets to accommodate it. As much as we may want to see all of the keyset covered it’s not always possible regardless of why that may be, and sometimes we don’t get the answers.

I’m not sure at this point if there’s any more to discuss regarding adding minivan compatibility to this set which is why @Zambumon has suggested taking any general discussion about 40% keyboards (including minivan of course) to its appropriate thread.

I appreciate your passion for the project and I can also appreciate that it can suck when you can’t get a specific keyset for the board you have. With that said, I hope you continue to bring up compatibility if you notice interest checks that come up that don’t have it as it’s an important part of the interest check phase. As for this keyset it sounds resoundingly final that it won’t be supported.
